Vintage cuisine collectibles are a Maumelle woman’s recipe for happiness
Nancy Sills is the curator of numerous collections, perhaps none more prized or enjoyed than her vintage and antique kitchen wares. From ceramic crocks and traditional wooden bread boards to rolling pins and baking tins, her own kitchen is home to a variety of cooking collectibles. “I keep my collections out on display so we can enjoy them,” says Sills, who resides in Maumelle with her husband Adrian who also likes antiques.
Indeed the displays are enjoyable for all who enter. Sills’ kitchen has all the charm of a 1940s general store alongside typical modern day conveniences. Along with the aforementioned items, you’ll also find her collections of Yellowware bowls, baskets, sugar buckets, creamers and textiles among the mix.

With a name like Gingiber, which happens to be Latin for ginger, it may not be a surprise to find a flavorful array of colorful, whimsical designs in the online shop’s ever-growing selection. However, Stacie Bloomfield’s home décor and gift line was actually inspired by her family rather than its spicy moniker. “When I was expecting our first daughter, I was excited to decorate her room, but I couldn’t find anything I truly loved,” says Bloomfield. “So my husband encouraged me to make my own.”

Toy planes, trains and automobiles delight children as well as the young at heart.
“I love the sense of nostalgia you get from these pieces,” says Edwards, who now has more than 300 tin trucks, buses, automobiles, trains and planes. “Sometimes I feel like I was born about 100 years too late, like maybe I should’ve lived in the 1940s,” he says of his fondness for the period. Many of the pieces in his collection are models of 1920s- to 1940s-era modes of transportation, which were recreated for the enjoyment of kids in the 1950s and 1960s. “Boys’ toys were often thrown around or set on fire,” laughs Edwards, “so it’s truly finite—there are only so many of them that survived.”
While the majority of the toys Edwards buys for his own school-age children are technology-based or more contemporary in form and function, he continues to grow the vintage collection. “It’s neat to see another generation truly enjoy and appreciate these toys,” he adds.
